DISASTROUS COLLISION 1T SEA.

Several Stccra0e Passengers KiHed-Eo
Vessels Secrecy Damaged.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Thursday, May 10,
at $40 m, while the weather was calm and
smooth, the British steamer Celtic, Of the
White Star line, from Liverpool, came into
collision with the British steamer Britannia, Of
the same line, from New York for Liverpool,
striking her on the port side aft, and doing
considerable damage. The Britannic's boats
were lowered and filled with women and
children from the cabin and stecs1ge, in an or
derly and expeditions manner. 1t is to their
shame that several mem forced themselves in
to the boats. Meanwhile an examination was
made, and the damage to the Britannia ascer-
tanned, and 1t being found that the vessel was
likely to founder, such boats as were in hail
were recalled and their occupants received on
board. The others had boarded the Celtic.
A pad was made and placed over the hole in
the Britannic's side, and she was turned
about toward New York, having arranged
with the Celtic TO keep company.
The saddest and most deplorable result of
the accident is, that several steerage pas
sengers who were lounging about at the time
of the collision were killed. and several 9th
ers injured.
Both vessels accompanied by the steam
ship Marengo (Britishl, from Swansea for
New York, and the British Queen (Britishl,
from Liverpool for New York, arrived at the
bar at o'clock this morning. The above
report is from the purser of the Britannia,
who refused any further information. Some
steerage passengers from the Britannia are
stopping at the Miners Arms, hotel, No. 2
Front street.
Both steamships are anchored off the bar,
being detained by fog. The Celtic's bow is
stove in, but otherwise the vessel is not dam
aged. The BrItannics compartment is full Of
water. She will reach her dock about $3.50 p.
NJ. One report says a man and three women
were killed, while another says the victims
were one women, one child aged IS, and FIVE
men.
